Recipe 4/52 for my 30 before 30 list. I am making and blogging about one new recipe a week. This Creamy Ranch Chicken recipe came from the cookbook I typed up for my friend’s mom, Pauline. I had been wanting to try it for awhile and was finally able to cook it this week.
The recipe is very easy to make and it is nice because your probably already have all of the ingredients on hand. I also like that fact that you don’t have to dirty up a bunch of different dishes. Cook the noodles in a pot and everything else gets cooked in the skillet.
